What's the difference between the Baylis and Perryn spotlights? +-

Our Perryn spotlights are made for plasterboard ceilings and walls, as the electrical fittings need to sit in a hollow space.
Whereas the Baylis spotlights are surface mounted, so they’re suitable for anywhere.
If you're still unsure, our team will be happy to help you out.

What type of glass do you use for your shades? +-

All our glass shades are hand blown, rather than pressed or machine made. We prefer hand blown glass for its superior quality and artisanal look and feel.
Occasionally, small air bubbles can get trapped in the molten glass during the process, and you may be able to see these in your shade. Similarly, slight variations in the thickness of the glass can occur. These natural (and unavoidable) differences make each one of our shades unique.
